Commission approves replacement windows at parish building, applicant to preserve exterior color and trim
Summary
The commission approved a certificate of appropriateness for replacement windows at a parish property, with the applicant agreeing to replace windows in a bronze exterior finish to match existing sightlines and to reinstall or repaint trim where removal is necessary.
A parish representative presented a request to replace a set of windows in a church/parish building under the commission's certificate of appropriateness process. The commission approved the application after the representative described a vendor proposal to install bronze‑colored, double‑hung vinyl windows matching the building's existing openings and profiles.
The applicant said most interior removals will avoid exterior disturbance and that, if exterior trim must be removed to install a window, the team will reinstall matching trim or repaint to match the existing bronze color. Commissioners stressed that visible trim and sightlines must be preserved and that any deviations must return for staff or commission review.
A motion to accept the application "as presented" passed by roll call. Staff will verify final window profiles and trim details as part of the building‑permit review and the commission asked the applicant to notify staff if the contractor proposes a different exterior finish or profile than shown.
